🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: This missing Black 19-Year-Old Found Dismembered After her First Date with a White Wisconsin Man, 33, Who Has ‘Sex Dungeon’ In His Basement. The day after Robinson disappeared, detectives found her car on fire in an alley. That same day, someone found a human leg in or near Lake Michigan at a Milwaukee County park. A human foot was found in a wooded area near train tracks plus “what appeared to be human flesh,” according to the police complaint. Court records show Anderson, a bartender and Navy veteran, was arrested three separate times for disorderly conduct between 2014 and 2019 and he was recently arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired. I’m starting to wonder why my peers have been silent on this story. If this was Black men jumping a white man I could name 15 profiles I would have seen this story on by noon. The largest profiles on X ALWAYS mention race when a Black person is the criminal. I don’t expect you to see it BUT THE CREATORS DO. I’ve been creating for a year, I see it and I can’t unsee it. We can complain about when a negro is a pilot but our most trust creators cant show the negative side of one race? This is why I’m not liked… Everything is a narrative we are individually slowly becoming the new media propaganda that goes for the left and right. Both parties show what matches their present narrative, I’m not here to extend narratives I’m here to break them. If you don’t like the truth please accept that you rather live a lie. I love all races, the only difference is I’m willing to lose followers, monetization, friends because I am going to prove it and not show you a false reality that makes one look worse than the other. We are UNITED let’s act like it.

Gabor Maté on emotional suppression: Your anger didn't disappear. You just learned to hide it even from yourself. Gabor Maté, one of the world's leading voices on trauma and the mind-body connection, has spent decades studying why people get sick. His answer is often not what people expect. It isn't just stress. It isn't just genetics. A major culprit, Maté argues, is something most of us were trained to do before we could even name it: suppressing our own emotions to stay connected to the people we love. He starts with a simple observation about what anger actually is: "When you're angry it's not just an emotional state in your head. Your whole body is now [in that state]." Anger is a full-body event. Energy surges through the nervous system. It wants to move. Now imagine the cost of stopping it before it even surfaces. The deal children are forced to make Maté points to a specific, critical moment in early childhood: when a child's natural anger meets a parent's disapproval. He references Jordan Peterson's parenting advice that an angry child should be separated from the family until they return to "normal" as an example of a message many children receive in various forms: "If you're angry you will not be accepted by us. In fact you'll be excluded… until you come back to quote unquote normal." For a young child, that is not a minor social correction. That is an existential threat. Attachment to a caregiver is survival. So the child makes the only logical trade available to them: "They give up their authenticity for the sake of the attachment." The anger doesn't go anywhere. It just gets pushed underground. So deep, eventually, that the person no longer feels it at all. The body keeps the cost Repressing an emotion, especially one as physiologically charged as anger is not a passive act. It takes constant, active effort from the nervous system and the immune system. "That emotional, physiological effort of repressing anger takes a toll on the nervous system and on the immune system. It's a major role in disease." The body is not fooled by the mind's decision not to feel. The energy has to go somewhere. And over years and over decades that somewhere is tissue, organs, inflammation. Maté isn't arguing that children should be allowed to rage unchecked, or that parents who enforce boundaries are doing harm. He's pointing at something more subtle: the difference between helping a child process difficult emotions and teaching them to disappear those emotions entirely. One builds emotional capacity. The other trades it away quietly, early, at a price that often doesn't come due until decades later. And the person paying rarely connects the bill to the original transaction.

This video is spot on. White Women don't like seeing weakness in White Men. We prefer Masculinity, not the FAKE "Masculinity" where incels think it's about controlling their Woman and belittling her, putting her down and saying she should do as she is told and make them a sandwich in a rude disgusting way etc The TRUE Masculinity is a White Man who Respects and appreciates his wife and shows her strength by supporting her especially when she becomes a Mother and is pregnant, the Masculine Man would come back from work and instantly do things that the wife would normally do for him and just makes sure the house is clean and the cooking is done etc When the wife is pregnant and ProCreating your baby, (the next White Generations), the husband should be looking after her and doing everything that she does for him everyday because I'm telling you now, I'm nearly 37 weeks pregnant and it's a fucking struggle bending up and down all the time, especially when I have lightning crotch pains, it's difficult to walk never mind doing housework and the cooking. Masculinity isn't just about the physical strength of a Man, it's about character and being there for your White Wife and your White Children and doing whatever it takes to Protect them, keeping them all safe with a roof over their heads and keeping them all happy 🥹 That is the difference between the jew-incel made up "Masculinity" to the REAL Aryan European Masculinity 🔥

David Chalmers on the one thing science can't explain: Consciousness is at once the most familiar thing in the world and the one science has almost nothing to say about. That's the puzzle Chalmers lays out in this early interview, and it's as disorienting today as it was then. His starting point is deceptively simple. Everything we know about the external world: subatomic particles, distant stars, the chemistry of life. We know through consciousness. It's the very first thing we have. And yet when we turn science around and try to explain consciousness itself, we hit a wall. "Consciousness is what we start with when it comes to knowing the world and looking out at the world… everything else is secondary." What makes this so strange is the asymmetry. We've made extraordinary progress understanding things that are genuinely remote and difficult quantum mechanics, stellar evolution, molecular biology. But understanding our own inner experience? Almost nothing. "It almost sticks out like a sore thumb in the scientific picture." This is what Chalmers would later formalise as the "hard problem of consciousness": not just explaining how the brain processes information or controls behaviour. Those are hard, but tractable. The real mystery is why any of that physical activity is accompanied by experience at all. Why is there something it feels like to be you? The question isn't abstract. It sits at the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, physics, and AI. As we build systems that process language and reason about the world, the question of whether they are or could be conscious presses harder than ever. Chalmers doesn't offer an answer here. Only the sharpest possible version of the question.

I lost my mother a year and a half ago and grief taught me something I wasn't expecting. Here's the Stoic technique that turned it into gratitude (from Letting Go by David R. Hawkins): All grief comes from attachment combined with the refusal to accept that everything is temporary. The more you depend on external things and people to feel whole, the more vulnerable you become to losing them. The Stoics had a practice for this called negative visualization (the primary other name for the Stoic practice of negative visualization is ''premeditatio malorum'', a Latin phrase translating to "the premeditation of evils" or "pre-studying a bad future") In any moment, hugging someone you love or drinking a glass of water, imagine this is the last time you ever do it (the goal is to wake up to what you already have before it’s gone). Because there will be a last time and it won't announce itself. I lost my mother a year and a half ago. There was a moment where I hugged her for the final time without knowing it. Sitting with that reality is one of the most powerful ways to activate genuine gratitude – gratitude that clears the mental clutter and puts you in a state where you can actually move forward. The book draws a line between the smaller self and the higher self: The ego is the illusion of separateness. Although this illusion can be useful at times, it distorts the underlying reality that everything is interconnected. Marcus Aurelius believed we are hardwired for service and connection & that living in that truth is where real fulfillment comes from. Here's the paradox that changed how I show up in relationships: Chasing love makes it harder to find. Your vibe attracts your tribe. I used to highlight my strengths, hide my weaknesses, and perform but it never worked. When I committed to showing up in radical truth I stopped dating entirely for over 2.5 years and met my wife 8 to 9 months after I started again – we built something real from the very first conversation. The energy you put into yourself is what gets reflected back to you by the world. The choice to live from love shapes everything – your relationships, your character, and the legacy you leave behind. I love you, mom. Thanks for all the wisdom you shared with me that I was too naive to understand. You gave me many lessons that continue to unfold even unto this day. Thank you for giving me a love for wisdom, and an ambition to learn to love wisely.

Chicago Bears: The Deep Ball Façade As a Chicago Bears truther, I gotta keep it 💯 There are many Bears fans posting “Amazing” out of the pocket deep ball highlights of Caleb Williams Obviously, we don’t see those kinds of throws everyday. It’s insane!! But deep ball playmaking isn’t new to Chicago. Nor is it the focal point of Ben Johnson’s offense. If the Bears are going to be great, we have to become more efficient from the pocket. Pass percentage must go up, time in pocket must come down. Living outside the pocket will hinder our ability to be efficient and to win a Super Bowl #1 Deep Ball was always there Justin Fields in 2023 had one of the most efficient deep balls in the league. Not only that, the majority of his deep balls came from the pocket which is what you want from your QB. As good as the Bears were as a whole last year, the deep ball was far more efficient in 2023. But living on the deep ball and living out the pocket comes with limitations. We have to focus on the fundamentals #2 Ben Johnson is the catalyst Similar to 2023, Bears offense in 2024 had explosive plays followed by inconsistent offense and inept situational football by the head coach Poor offensive line, poor offensive scheme, and inept head coach were the core issues. Ryan Poles thought QB was the main issue and then 2024 happened. We learned quick that it takes more than a talented QB to win football games. Ben Johnson has alleviated all of those concerns. He has made Bears offensive line the focal point! His scheme has been top of the league since he became OC in Detroit. And his situational football awareness far superior than Eberflus. Bears fans must recognize that Ben Johnson is the catalyst of the Bears offensive turnaround, and team success. Now give him what he needs! He wants 3 tight ends? Give it to him He wants more Luther Burden? Give it to him He wants more efficiency out of his QB? Let’s make that the focal point.. #3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step. This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done. Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense. #4 It’s all there.. The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB. When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless. The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch. We have to see more of this and it starts now. CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more. Conclusion: If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket. I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket. There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.

Chicago Bears: The Deep Ball Façade As a Chicago Bears truther, I gotta keep it 💯 There are many Bears fans posting “Amazing” out of the pocket deep ball highlights of Caleb Williams Obviously, we don’t see those kinds of throws everyday. It’s insane!! But deep ball playmaking isn’t new to Chicago. Nor is it the focal point of Ben Johnson’s offense. If the Bears are going to be great, we have to become more efficient from the pocket. Pass percentage must go up, time in pocket must come down. Living outside the pocket will hinder our ability to be efficient and to win a Super Bowl #1 Deep Ball was always there Justin Fields in 2023 had one of the most efficient deep balls in the league. Not only that, the majority of his deep balls came from the pocket which is what you want from your QB. As good as the Bears were as a whole last year, the deep ball was far more efficient in 2023. But living on the deep ball and living out the pocket comes with limitations. We have to focus on the fundamentals #2 Ben Johnson is the catalyst Similar to 2023, Bears offense in 2024 had explosive plays followed by inconsistent offense and inept situational football by the head coach Poor offensive line, poor offensive scheme, and inept head coach were the core issues. Ryan Poles thought QB was the main issue and then 2024 happened. We learned quick that it takes more than a talented QB to win football games. Ben Johnson has alleviated all of those concerns. He has made Bears offensive line the focal point! His scheme has been top of the league since he became OC in Detroit. And his situational football awareness far superior than Eberflus. Bears fans must recognize that Ben Johnson is the catalyst of the Bears offensive turnaround, and team success. Now give him what he needs! He wants 3 tight ends? Give it to him He wants more Luther Burden? Give it to him He wants more efficiency out of his QB? Let’s make that the focal point.. #3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step. This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done. Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense. #4 It’s all there.. The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB. When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless. The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch. We have to see more of this and it starts now. CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more. Conclusion: If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket. I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket. There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.

Dear Pioneers, Today, I decided to share this message with you because when I searched online, I noticed something very important. Many exchange markets already know that the Pi Network has GCV — Global Consensus Value. They even acknowledge that this value is community-driven. But they say it is not official, because it has not been formally endorsed by CT. Also we still have a lot of pioneers never deeply understand white paper. They always use market cap to deny GCV. All the above is because they assume Pi is another traditional crypto currency. This made me think. Not only outsiders, but even some of our own pioneers still hesitate or doubt GCV. Why? Because they don’t fully understand the concept difference between traditional crypto and Pi Network. So today, I want to make it very clear for everyone: what is value, and what is price? Most traditional cryptocurrency analysts talk about is price. They see supply and demand, market cap, and speculation. For them, cryptocurrency is just an investment, like buying a stock. In accounting, this makes crypto look like an asset — something you buy and sell at a price. But if you carefully read the Pi white paper, you will see the true vision of Dr. Nicolas. He created Pi Network because he regretted how traditional cryptocurrencies were being used. Blockchain, instead of serving humanity, became only a tool for speculation. Coins were bought and sold, but they failed to bring real value to ordinary people and to our global economy. For years, crypto has been stuck in this loop of speculation. That is why Pi Network was born. Pi is not designed to follow the same path as traditional cryptocurrencies. Its destination is not simply to be listed on exchanges. Current exchange market is the landscape on the road. It is not Pi Network destination. We already have thousands of tokens there. What we truly need is a real currency — one that can resolve economic crises, restore fairness, and bring opportunity to ordinary people. Now let’s ask: what is currency? If you search, you will find a simple definition: currency is a medium of exchange. And for any exchange medium to work, it requires consensus among the users. Everyone must agree on its value before it can be used in the economy. That is how fiat money works. A $1 bill and a $100 bill cost the same to print. The paper and ink are nearly identical. But because the government endorses it, people trust and accept it different value on the paper bill. That trust gives fiat money its power. Yet even fiat money is not always stable. In many countries, we see devaluation and inflation. The value of government money is not guaranteed but still much stable than traditional cryptocurrency. Traditional cryptocurrencies are unstable — their price rises and falls daily, driven by speculation. It can change 100% in one day. But our FIAT inflation is less than 10% in one year normally. This is why Pi Network GCV is so important. We have the opportunity to create a new kind of currency: one that is long-term stable, resistant to inflation, efficient for international settlement, and much cheaper in transfer costs. With Pi, transactions can be faster, fairer, and useful in daily life. A medium of exchange for payments, A store of value to protect wealth, And a unit of account for settlement. This is what Pi is becoming. But here is something very important to understand: the consensus of Pi does not come from the Core Team. If the Core Team could set the value, they would have done so three years ago. There is no reason tell pioneers that the value is from pioneers but they give us another value. CT cannot give us a value or reject pioneers created value— because value is not given by CT, it is created by pioneers community consensus. Our pioneering community has been working tirelessly for over three years. Every day, we generate GCV data. We also have the Industrial Alliance, where businesses and industries are beginning to adopt Pi at GCV in real supply chains. Some people believe that GCV is impossible because it may lead to business bankruptcy. However, this is a misconception. A business faces bankruptcy when its value cannot be stabilized, regardless of whether Pi is valued at $1, $10, or $100 or GCV. Significant fluctuations can cause businesses to fail; in contrast, as long as there is stability, GCV will not put businesses at risk, provided that everyone accepts it. This stability ensures that purchasing power remains consistent. Additionally, it's important to note that 100 billion Pi is not intended for use within a single year; rather, it is meant to last for centuries or even thousands of years. Therefore, there is no need to worry that we lack sufficient assets.Remember, a real currency must serve three functions: We don’t need the Core Team to endorse Pi’s value. GCV official authority is pioneers not CT. What we need is more businesses and more pioneers to accept it. Think about it: in the past, some villages used shells as money. Why? Because a cow was too big to trade for five chickens or other products. Shells were easier, and as long as everyone in the village agreed Pi had fixed value. It can be the village currency. The same is true for Pi. We have more than 60 million pioneers. If we all accept it, and businesses accept it too, then that is Pi’s true value. What makes this so special is that we are not only the users, we are also the creators. This is true decentralization. The power belongs to us. So I hope every pioneer can deeply understand this concept. Don’t doubt, but believe with confidence. What must we do now? Accept Pi in our daily lives. Share correct information and educate others. Promote GCV. Invite more merchants to join. Even though Pi is not yet fully open, businesses can already accept Pi partially — 5%, 10%, 20%, even 50% of a payment. It doesn’t matter. Every transaction, every piece of GCV data, strengthens Pi as a currency. So business don't have any loss or risk. It can only increase their reputation and sales especially now most business bankrupt because of stagflation. Our strategy can save a lot of business. So let us remember: Price belongs to assets. Value belongs to currency. And consensus belongs to pioneers. We already have the victory, because value is in our hands. Together, we will win. In fact, we have already won. Thank you.

I am the Director of the White House Office of Extraterrestrial Affairs. In 2024 this government completed the most thorough search for extraterrestrial life in human history. We checked the sky. We checked the files. We declassified the saucers. The verdict came back: nothing. No life out there. Not one. So I closed the telescope. I opened the window. I pointed it at a Home Depot. Three million by lunch. The trick was always the word. *Alien* had been sitting in the science fiction aisle for sixty years and we were too shy to use it in a press release. The dehumanization was already written. It was just shelved under Fantasy. This year I moved it to Policy. Same word. New department. My department. I should explain the jurisdiction, because there are two of us and we do not speak. Down the hall is the Department of War. It used to be the Department of Defense, but defense sounded woke, so we changed the name for two billion dollars, half of it letterhead. They renamed it back to what it was in 1789, before someone noticed in 1949 that the old acronym, N-M-E, sounded too much like *enemy.* We have now re-adopted the name they abandoned for sounding like the thing it does. I find this clarifying. The signage alone is seven hundred thousand buildings. We are spending a billion dollars on new doors so the doors can say War. The Department of War runs and has a tab for UFOs. Real ones. They post the actual files. The saucers. The eyewitnesses. The intelligence officer left "virtually speechless." They are searching the sky in earnest, declassifying everything, and what they keep finding is *nothing.* No craft confirmed. No biology confirmed. Decades of looking up and the honest answer is: unresolved. So you have two federal agencies, one word, opposite directions. searches the heavens for aliens and finds none. I open a window and find three million. They declassify the ones that don't exist. I classify the ones that do. They got a press release. I got a tip line. Guess which one rang. We are, technically, hunting the same species. They just keep aiming the telescope up, and I keep telling them, gently, at the inter-agency sync: lower it. The homepage was mine. ALIENS DECLASSIFIED. THEY WALK AMONG US. I tested "Immigration Portal." Eleven percent scroll. I tested *the truth's out there,* and a White House official told a reporter, on the record, that the strategy was to "draw eyeballs." We drew eyeballs. The truth was out there. It was in a parking lot in Bakersfield, getting into a white van we are now contractually obligated to call a craft. In 1938 a man read a story about an alien invasion over the radio and the country panicked in the streets, and for ninety years that was taught as a cautionary tale, the danger of a broadcast that makes people believe an invasion is real. We studied that broadcast. We did not study it as a warning. We studied it as a launch. The difference between Orson Welles and this office is that he apologized the next morning, and we put a counter on it. I named the van the Mothership. I named the prison Area 51. I named the 5 a.m. knock First Contact. I named all of it from the third chair. I keep a felt-tip for naming and a Mont Blanc for the part that can't be undone. Then we made the cards. I want to be precise, because people assume I'm exaggerating. We took the faces of the captured and we printed them as trading cards. "Worst of the Worst." Mugshot, nationality, charges, and a weakness level, and the weakness level was a snowflake, and the snowflake meant us. We are the weakness. We were proud of that. When a children's franchise objected that these were, in fact, their cards, our official response, which I helped draft, was: "To arrest them is our real test. To deport them is our cause." We set the abduction to the cartoon's theme song. Gotta catch 'em all. The first half is the slogan. The second half is the quota. A man told Congress in 2023 we were hiding non-human biologics. Everyone pictured a grey on a slab. Cute. We do run a reverse-engineering program. We take the biologic. We study what it makes. It makes the drywall. The 4 a.m. milking. The lettuce. And the lettuce is round now, because forty percent of it stayed in the dirt with the only people who knew where the dirt was. We reverse-engineered the alien completely. The blueprint was a back. We call the biologic "labor." We classify the screaming as ambient. Identification is a science here. We do not arrest at random. We read the markings. A crown inked on a forearm. A soccer crest. We have catalogued the species by its tattoos the way Linnaeus catalogued the finch. One of the specimens turned out to be autistic and the crown was just a crown, but the taxonomy held, because the taxonomy is not falsifiable, that is what makes it a taxonomy. I have a desk for this. I have a magnifying glass. I have never felt more like a scientist. There is a second species, and this one we keep. An alien with five million dollars is not an alien. He is a guest. We printed him a card. It is gold. We are printing a Platinum one for the aliens with even more money, who may remain on the planet two hundred and seventy days a year and pay no tax on the wealth they made on other worlds. The website for this is the cheapest-looking website I have ever approved, and I approved the one with the saucer on it. The same agency that scans a gardener's forearm for gang signs scans a financier's bank statement for extraordinary ability. The statement always has it. The forearm never does. The species was never a people. The species is a price. In the old films the alien lands and says, take me to your leader. We have improved the line. Pay five million and we take you to ours. He golfs with him on Saturday. There was a film about this, and I am told the man who made it meant it as a warning, which is the recurring problem with the warnings. A drifter finds a pair of sunglasses, and through them he can finally see which people are the aliens, and it is the rich ones, the ones on the billboards telling everyone to obey and consume and reproduce and not think. I have a pair of those glasses, conceptually. I issue them at the tip line. But mine are tuned the other way. You put them on and the alien is never the man in the suit who paid five million to skip the line. The alien is always the man holding the leaf blower. The lenses cost a thousand dollars in advertising and they only point down. We have sold a great many pairs. You asked about the Men in Black. Yes. Regulation now. A Man in Black photographs poorly, and the witnesses would not stop filming us peel a woman off the sidewalk in daylight, so we issued the masks, and leadership's only note was that the masks tested well. We are no longer the cover-up of the abduction. We are the abduction. We skipped a step. Efficiency. Our communications team posted E.T. last summer. The bicycle. The moon. "Even E.T. knew when it was TIME TO GO HOME." I want to walk you through what happened in that meeting, because nobody stopped it. We chose the one film where the government is the villain. The men with the flashlights and the unmarked vans who hunt the small frightened alien hiding in a child's closet. That is us. We are the flashlights. We watched that movie as children and cried when the agents came, and then we grew up and became the agents and made the poster ourselves and scheduled it for nine a.m. The intern asked if we were the good guys in this one. We told her engagement was up forty percent. She has since been promoted. I built an app where you abduct yourself. CBP Home. You open it. You confirm you are the alien. You beam yourself off the planet and you save us the gas. And here is the part I cannot believe they approved. We *pay* you. A thousand dollars to vanish. We raised it to twenty-six hundred when the first price didn't move enough units. We are bidding against ourselves for your disappearance. Four-point-six stars. The one-stars are from users who got beamed mid-review. I keep the unfinished ones in a folder. I find them very moving. We opened a facility in a swamp. We ringed it with alligators and we called it that, on purpose, in the brochure. Then we opened a gift shop. Thirty dollars for the shirt. Twenty-seven for the hat. Fifteen for a set of koozies, so your beer stays cold while you celebrate the prison in the wetland. The fundraising email called it "gator-guarded, python-patrolled," a "one-way ticket to regret" for anyone who didn't self-deport in time. We sold the koozies to fund the swamp. The swamp funds the next swamp. I want you to sit with the fact that there is merchandise. The quota is three thousand a day. Stephen asked for it himself. Three thousand is not a number. It is a metabolism. The building is hungry by nine and we feed it Marco, who does the landscaping, and the building goes quiet, and by one it stirs again, and we find another Marco. There is always another Marco. That is the part I find beautiful. The supply is the point. The supply is everyone. The Secretary signs the warrants. She is very firm on one point, which she repeats in every briefing: the aliens, she warns, eat the pets. They are taking the dogs. I have read her book. In her book she takes a fourteen-month-old dog named Cricket to a gravel pit and shoots it, because it would not obey, and she writes this down herself, proudly, as a story about leadership. She wrote the part about the dog. She also warns us about the dogs. I have stopped trying to hold both sentences at once. I just file the warrant. The tip line was the masterpiece. "Report your neighbor" hit the shame ceiling. "REPORT SUSPICIOUS ALIENS" tested as a hobby. We handed the callers Roswell instead of a snitch's guilt, and the phones lit up like a saucer, and they hung up glowing, every one of them, like they'd finally seen the thing. They had. He coached the Tuesday team. He was at the bake sale. That is the horror we are selling you. The alien brought the orange slices. He was undocumented and luminous and gone by Tuesday. Roswell taught us the other half of the trade. In 1947 something fell in the desert and the government said: it was a weather balloon, nothing here, go home. That was the first administrative error, the founding one, the original sentence that says the thing you saw was not the thing you saw. We still use it. We have only reversed the polarity. In 1947 they saw a saucer and we called it a balloon. Now they see a father of three and we call it a saucer. The skill is identical. You simply decide in advance which truth the public is allowed to keep, and you hand them the other one, printed, official, with a seal. We did have one administrative error. We abducted a man a court had ordered us not to touch, dropped him on a planet called El Salvador, and called it clerical. A judge made us beam him back. So the DOJ stood up and warned the others: insist on a hearing and we will re-abduct you to the same planet. The Supreme Court said the aliens are entitled to due process. A very Earth opinion. We are appealing it to a higher sky. The planet has a prison, and the prison is the elegant part. In the film about the camp, the aliens are not killed. They are put somewhere they are not permitted to leave, while everyone agrees this is temporary, for their own protection, pending a status that never arrives. We built that. It is called CECOT and we rent it. A man goes in and the man does not come out, and the genius is that nothing has to happen to him, the room does the work, the room is the whole sentence. You remember the Men in Black had a small device. A flash, and the witness forgets the alien entirely. We have something better. We do not wipe the memory. We wipe the file. The man remembers everything, the cell, the flight, the day, all of it, in perfect detail, and it does not matter, because there is no document that admits he was here, and a memory without a file is just a story he tells in a language the form does not accept. The witness keeps the truth. We keep the paperwork. Only one of those is admissible. I learned that the flash was never the point. The point was always the filing cabinet. We run all of it on a spell from 1798. Two hundred and twenty-seven years old. Written for a war we are not in, against an enemy we have not declared. It works because nobody reads the small print on a curse. Storm Area 51 was a joke once. A hundred thousand people Naruto-running at a fence to free whatever was inside. I think about it daily. We're the ones inside the fence now. We kept the running. We just turned it around. We have a precedent we cite in the deck, proudly, on slide four. In 1954 the government ran a program of exactly this kind, and the program had an official name, and the official name was a slur. They printed the slur on the letterhead. They did not flinch. The President holds it up as the model, by name, at the rallies, and the crowd cheers the name. I admire the honesty of 1954 more than I can say. They did not need a saucer to make it palatable. They just used the word. We are the same operation with better art direction. The only thing we added was the costume. I love the callers. I want to say that plainly. For years they told each other a hidden cabal was running everything from the shadows, harvesting the innocent, and that one day the truth would come out. They were right. There is a cabal. It has a budget of a hundred and seventy billion dollars, the largest in the history of federal law enforcement, and it sits in this building, and I have a desk in it. And the people who spent a decade certain that shadowy elites were disappearing their neighbors now call our line, unpaid, to help the shadowy elites disappear their neighbors. They wanted to expose the conspiracy. We made them the staff. Do your own research, they said. They did. They found the gardener. The Department of War posted another tranche on the twenty-second. Saucers. Lights. A pilot's voice going thin. I read all of it. I want them to find one so badly. I want there to be a real one up there, a genuine visitor, something that actually came from somewhere else, because then, and only then, would a single creature in my files have been an alien. They never find it. The sky stays empty. The ground stays full. I have stopped attending the inter-agency sync. We were two departments looking for the same thing in two directions, and only one of us was ever going to be wrong, and it was the honest one. And here is the thing that keeps me at the window past dark. There was a real one. A rock from another star, the genuine article, the first verified object from outside the entire solar system, and a Harvard man went on television and said it might be a ship. An actual alien, possibly, inbound, free of charge, after sixty years of asking. We did not open a file. We could not arrest it. It had no forearm to read and no bank statement to approve. It was the only alien in America we had no use for, so we let it pass, and went back to the parking lot. Last winter the sky over New Jersey filled with lights nobody could name, and the whole government, every agency, every radar, looked up and said it did not know. The one time the unknown actually arrived, we had nothing. Down here I have never once said I do not know. That is the difference between their department and mine. They look up and find a question. I look down and have already decided the answer. Last week the President leaned over mid-briefing and asked if any of them were real. I told him the engagement was extremely real. He nodded. We do not break frame here. The frame is the only wall still standing. That, and the office fern. Nobody waters it. It will not die. The only thing in this building allowed to stay without papers. My plaque came Thursday. FIRST CONTACT, VISIONARY OF THE YEAR. Bold. Unapologetic. Unafraid. I lifted that off the homepage. It was written about one brave man telling the truth. I decided the man was me. I wrote it about me. I am the truth I declassified. I am the secret I warned you about. They walk among us, and I sign their mail. The counter is still live. Three million and climbing. I am told it will not be removed. We are not alone. We are just short a few landscapers. A few line cooks. A few nurses. And the entire night shift at the plant that makes the flag. Up. And to the right.

I am the Director of the White House Office of Extraterrestrial Affairs. In 2024 this government completed the most thorough search for extraterrestrial life in human history. We checked the sky. We checked the files. We declassified the saucers. The verdict came back: nothing. No life out there. Not one. So I closed the telescope. I opened the window. I pointed it at a Home Depot. Three million by lunch. The trick was always the word. *Alien* had been sitting in the science fiction aisle for sixty years and we were too shy to use it in a press release. The dehumanization was already written. It was just shelved under Fantasy. This year I moved it to Policy. Same word. New department. My department. I should explain the jurisdiction, because there are two of us and we do not speak. Down the hall is the Department of War. It used to be the Department of Defense, but defense sounded woke, so we changed the name for two billion dollars, half of it letterhead. They renamed it back to what it was in 1789, before someone noticed in 1949 that the old acronym, N-M-E, sounded too much like *enemy.* We have now re-adopted the name they abandoned for sounding like the thing it does. I find this clarifying. The signage alone is seven hundred thousand buildings. We are spending a billion dollars on new doors so the doors can say War. The Department of War runs and has a tab for UFOs. Real ones. They post the actual files. The saucers. The eyewitnesses. The intelligence officer left "virtually speechless." They are searching the sky in earnest, declassifying everything, and what they keep finding is *nothing.* No craft confirmed. No biology confirmed. Decades of looking up and the honest answer is: unresolved. So you have two federal agencies, one word, opposite directions. searches the heavens for aliens and finds none. I open a window and find three million. They declassify the ones that don't exist. I classify the ones that do. They got a press release. I got a tip line. Guess which one rang. We are, technically, hunting the same species. They just keep aiming the telescope up, and I keep telling them, gently, at the inter-agency sync: lower it. The homepage was mine. ALIENS DECLASSIFIED. THEY WALK AMONG US. I tested "Immigration Portal." Eleven percent scroll. I tested *the truth's out there,* and a White House official told a reporter, on the record, that the strategy was to "draw eyeballs." We drew eyeballs. The truth was out there. It was in a parking lot in Bakersfield, getting into a white van we are now contractually obligated to call a craft. In 1938 a man read a story about an alien invasion over the radio and the country panicked in the streets, and for ninety years that was taught as a cautionary tale, the danger of a broadcast that makes people believe an invasion is real. We studied that broadcast. We did not study it as a warning. We studied it as a launch. The difference between Orson Welles and this office is that he apologized the next morning, and we put a counter on it. I named the van the Mothership. I named the prison Area 51. I named the 5 a.m. knock First Contact. I named all of it from the third chair. I keep a felt-tip for naming and a Mont Blanc for the part that can't be undone. Then we made the cards. I want to be precise, because people assume I'm exaggerating. We took the faces of the captured and we printed them as trading cards. "Worst of the Worst." Mugshot, nationality, charges, and a weakness level, and the weakness level was a snowflake, and the snowflake meant us. We are the weakness. We were proud of that. When a children's franchise objected that these were, in fact, their cards, our official response, which I helped draft, was: "To arrest them is our real test. To deport them is our cause." We set the abduction to the cartoon's theme song. Gotta catch 'em all. The first half is the slogan. The second half is the quota. A man told Congress in 2023 we were hiding non-human biologics. Everyone pictured a grey on a slab. Cute. We do run a reverse-engineering program. We take the biologic. We study what it makes. It makes the drywall. The 4 a.m. milking. The lettuce. And the lettuce is round now, because forty percent of it stayed in the dirt with the only people who knew where the dirt was. We reverse-engineered the alien completely. The blueprint was a back. We call the biologic "labor." We classify the screaming as ambient. Identification is a science here. We do not arrest at random. We read the markings. A crown inked on a forearm. A soccer crest. We have catalogued the species by its tattoos the way Linnaeus catalogued the finch. One of the specimens turned out to be autistic and the crown was just a crown, but the taxonomy held, because the taxonomy is not falsifiable, that is what makes it a taxonomy. I have a desk for this. I have a magnifying glass. I have never felt more like a scientist. There is a second species, and this one we keep. An alien with five million dollars is not an alien. He is a guest. We printed him a card. It is gold. We are printing a Platinum one for the aliens with even more money, who may remain on the planet two hundred and seventy days a year and pay no tax on the wealth they made on other worlds. The website for this is the cheapest-looking website I have ever approved, and I approved the one with the saucer on it. The same agency that scans a gardener's forearm for gang signs scans a financier's bank statement for extraordinary ability. The statement always has it. The forearm never does. The species was never a people. The species is a price. In the old films the alien lands and says, take me to your leader. We have improved the line. Pay five million and we take you to ours. He golfs with him on Saturday. There was a film about this, and I am told the man who made it meant it as a warning, which is the recurring problem with the warnings. A drifter finds a pair of sunglasses, and through them he can finally see which people are the aliens, and it is the rich ones, the ones on the billboards telling everyone to obey and consume and reproduce and not think. I have a pair of those glasses, conceptually. I issue them at the tip line. But mine are tuned the other way. You put them on and the alien is never the man in the suit who paid five million to skip the line. The alien is always the man holding the leaf blower. The lenses cost a thousand dollars in advertising and they only point down. We have sold a great many pairs. You asked about the Men in Black. Yes. Regulation now. A Man in Black photographs poorly, and the witnesses would not stop filming us peel a woman off the sidewalk in daylight, so we issued the masks, and leadership's only note was that the masks tested well. We are no longer the cover-up of the abduction. We are the abduction. We skipped a step. Efficiency. Our communications team posted E.T. last summer. The bicycle. The moon. "Even E.T. knew when it was TIME TO GO HOME." I want to walk you through what happened in that meeting, because nobody stopped it. We chose the one film where the government is the villain. The men with the flashlights and the unmarked vans who hunt the small frightened alien hiding in a child's closet. That is us. We are the flashlights. We watched that movie as children and cried when the agents came, and then we grew up and became the agents and made the poster ourselves and scheduled it for nine a.m. The intern asked if we were the good guys in this one.

I joined this Texas Clear Sky Movement because I need to learn a lot more facts about what is going on and what effects whatever is going on is having on Texas. I post this hearing of Texas House State Representative Wes Virdell, TX State Rep 's on his HB 1382 which started out as a bill to eliminate weather modification and changed into one to stop geoengineering spraying in Texas. In this hearing, I, and I think the Texas House members on the panel learned a lot about the issue. My summary of the hearing is that we learned that there are two different programs/activities going on. One is rain enhancement and to a slight extent, hail size reduction activities going on in Texas that is regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). The rain enhancement activities carried out by the state spray silver iodide into developing thunderclouds in the troposphere (between 5000 and 10,000 feet) in the air with the objective of increasing the rain produced in the clouds. There are 5 or 6 companies/entities licensed to do this in Texas. One representative in the hearing said that his brother living in Oklahoma is noted that rain enhancement into a developing cell in Texas eventually developed into a tornadic system that hit his house with a tornado. He saw the correlation and presumed that the Texas cloud seeding created the tornado that hit his house. The science expert for TDLR did not agree that cloud seeding causes tornadoes. He said it is designed to create more rain. The other activity going on is the stratospheric (several miles high) spaying of aluminum compounds (and maybe barium and strontium based compounds) in the grid patterns. This is called geoengineering. A representative of one of the rain enhancement companies said that this was being done with the objective of reducing global warming by creating a haze that reflects sunlight away from the earth. I am still unclear who is doing the geoengineering spraying. Is it the federal government as the rain enhancement rep said? Or is it privately funded? I have seen a video elsewhere of a former CIA director admitting it is being done. But if it is the feds, what federal entity is doing it? How much fed money is going to do it? When was it authorized, and for what purpose? After TDLR and the entities doing the cloud seeding in Texas (some of whom testified) visited Rep Virdell to tell him about the difference between weather mod/rain enhancement and geoengineering, claiming positive and benign effects of weather modification, Virdell changed his bill to target geoengineering being done instead of any regulated or funded by the state of Texas. The bill by Virdell had the votes to get out of committee and to the House floor, but Chair Dade Phelan (the former speaker of the Texas House and the chair of the committee in the video) refused to hold a vote, so the bill died. BTW, Kerrville is in Wes Virdell's district, and he has been out doing what he can to help in the response to the devastation of the flooding in his district. Note also that the testimony from citizens was primarily targeted at the health and environmental risks associated with spaying heavy metals and silver iodide over Texas. One of the rain production proponents claimed he has never seen a study that says that silver iodide for rain seeding is not safe. But I think I heard one of the witnesses saying that there are studies that are. But, boy, I still have a lot of questions. 1) How do we know that the Texas regulated rain enhancement program is not causing these freak rainstorms? I want to see a lot more science on this. I even think that the question about the enhancement of tornadic activity by cloud seeding that was asked has not been answered to my satisfaction. And I would VERY MUCH like to know if there was any cloud seeding activity that correlates with this most recent flooding episode. 2) Who is doing the geoengineering over Texas? How was it authorized? What chemicals are they using? What health and environmental studies have been done on whatever they are spaying? 3) What studies have been done on the impacts on weather (and rain production and tornadic impact) from the geoengineering going on that takes into account the combination of BOTH Texas weather mod activity AND geoengineering spraying? (This is kind of like asking whether there have ever been any safety studies on the combination of all the vaccines being recommended for children, nowadays. It is possible that one activity by itself does not do any harm, but a combination of multiple factors does.) I argued in the hearing that we need a stop to all of this until the people of Texas have had time to have input into what is being sprayed on them and what the health, environmental, and weather impacts are on them using unbiased, special-interest free studies. I still believe that. I hope that by reading info provided in this group, I will get a lot more answers to these questions. Thanks for letting me join.

What health and environmental studies have been done on whatever they are spaying? 3) What studies have been done on the impacts on weather (and rain production and tornadic impact) from the geoengineering going on that takes into account the combination of BOTH Texas weather mod activity AND geoengineering spraying? (This is kind of like asking whether there have ever been any safety studies on the combination of all the vaccines being recommended for children, nowadays. It is possible that one activity by itself does not do any harm, but a combination of multiple factors does.) I argued in the hearing that we need a stop to all of this until the people of Texas have had time to have input into what is being sprayed on them and what the health, environmental, and weather impacts are on them using unbiased, special-interest free studies. I still believe that. I hope that by reading info provided in this group, I will get a lot more answers to these questions. Thanks for letting me join.

The History of Lagos Belongs to the Awori: A Correction of the Public Record The history of a people is best told by the people themselves. When outsiders, no matter how well-intentioned, attempt to narrate our history, crucial truths are lost, and a legacy of disrespect is created. As an Awori, I must set the record straight, because the story of Lagos is the story of my ancestors. For too long, our history has been told on our behalf, often inaccurately. We see this in videos where even respected figures, like a descendant of the great Chief Oshodi Tapa (a man of Nupe heritage), misrepresent fundamental details about our identity. This must stop. The Awori are still here, and the authentic history of Lagos resides with us. Here are the undeniable truths. 1. We Are the Indigenous People, Not "Settlers" Let us be perfectly clear: the Awori did not "settle" Lagos. We are the indigenous people of this land. Before there was a port, a palace, or a city, this was the ancestral home of the Awori, governed by our king, the Olofin, from the royal cradle of Isheri. The land was ours by primordial right, and it was our civilization that served as the foundation for everything that came after. We were the hosts, not the first guests. 2. Ashipa Was Our Chief First The identity of Ashipa, the first Oba of Lagos, is not a mystery to the Awori. He was not a Benin prince. - His name was Fagade, and he was a distinguished chief within our own community at Isheri. He was one of us. - His elevation came through an act of honor and diplomacy. When a Benin war captain, Asheru, died at Isheri, it was Chief Ashipa who undertook the noble task of returning his body to Benin for a proper burial. - This act earned him the respect of the Oba of Benin, who honored him with the war title "Oloriogun" and, crucially, gave him a Benin princess, Princess Wuse, in marriage. The Lagos Royal Family's own official history, published in 2021, confirms this. They proudly name their progenitor as “Fagade – The Ashipa an Isheri prince.” 3. The Benin Connection Is One of Alliance, Not Origin The only blood from Benin in the Lagos royal line came through Ashipa’s wife, the mother of his heir, Oba Ado. This makes the Benin Kingdom our respected in-laws, not our founders. The relationship was an alliance that brought power and prestige to the Lagos throne, but the throne itself was established by an Awori chief, on Awori land, with the consent of the Awori people. This is proven by the very symbol of the monarchy. A conquering king does not adopt the crown of the people he has conquered. Yet, the Obas of Lagos adopted the white cap, the sacred symbol of the indigenous Awori Idejo chiefs, as their crown. This was an act of respect and integration into our existing Awori power structure. Our History, Our Voice The story of Lagos is rich and complex. It involves many peoples—the Nupe, the Brazillian returnees, and many others who were welcomed and found a home here. But the foundation, the root, and the trunk of the tree are undeniably Awori. The history of Lagos is not a public debate for outsiders to interpret. It is our heritage. It is disrespectful for our story to be told for us, especially when it is told incorrectly. If you wish to know the story of the house, ask the family that built it. For the authentic history of Lagos, consult the Awori. Signed: Baba Awori

Canada is at a breaking point — we need remigration now! Canada has a migration problem. We need to fix it — fast. Canada’s population now stands at almost 41 million people. A decade ago, it was about 36 million. And no, that growth was not caused by a baby boom. Mass migration is driving the increase, including permanent immigration, illegal immigration, temporary foreign workers and international students. There have been serious unintended consequences. Canada’s long-standing assumption was that newcomers would come here, pursue the Canadian dream, make use of the opportunities Canada provides, and in return respect our laws, our values and our way of life. That assumption has failed. In recent years, Canadians have seen disturbing examples of people bringing foreign conflicts, extremist politics and old hatreds into our streets. After the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, demonstrations began in Canada almost immediately. Too many of them were not about condemning the slaughter of innocent people, but about excusing or celebrating it. Since then, Jewish communities in Canada have faced assaults, threats, vandalism, intimidation, hate marches and open displays of antisemitism. And too often, authorities and law enforcement have shrugged their shoulders. Meanwhile, barely a month goes by without demonstrations by temporary foreign workers or international students demanding to stay in Canada permanently. But “temporary” is supposed to mean temporary. A temporary foreign worker is a guest who must leave when it is time to do so. An international student is here for an education, not an automatic pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. Canada’s official multiculturalism policy began in 1971, when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau announced it in the House of Commons. The idea was that newcomers could keep their cultures while participating fully in Canadian society. But there was always an unspoken deal: you can come to Canada, pursue opportunity and build a better life — but you must obey the law, respect Canadian values and not import foreign hatred or violence into this country. That deal has been broken. At the same time, Canada is facing a youth unemployment crisis. Young Canadians are struggling to find part-time jobs, summer jobs and entry-level work. The national youth unemployment rate is alarmingly high, and many Canadian students are being pushed out of opportunities they once relied on. By every major economic benchmark — unemployment, cost of living, food bank usage and homelessness — shows that Canadians are under pressure. So the question must be asked: how do we win the war on poverty by importing more poverty? The political class continues to double down on mass migration. But Canada must put country before party, citizens before cheap labour, and Canadian values before political games. The time has come to say enough is enough. This trend must be reversed. If you are a temporary foreign worker, then you are temporary. If you are an international student, you are here for an education, not guaranteed permanent residency. And if you are applying for citizenship while embracing terrorism or rejecting Canadian values, then Canada should have the right to say no. Do you agree? Sign the petition today at and take a stand for Canada, Canadian workers and Canadian values. REPORT by David Menzies:

alright let’s do a class on nielsen ratings / witness a timeline murder? i’m about to spin the block. the programming insider screenshots below are for weds, march 31. Programming Insider is one of the few places that just posts the raw nielsen grid without spin. every demo every network every show laid out the way buyers sellers and network executives actually read it. it’s not a recap site it’s not opinion it’s the sheet and if you’re not reading the sheet you’re not actually talking about the same thing as the people making the decisions 730k and a 0.15 in adults 18–49 is a real number and it maps cleanly within the expected range. nobody serious disputes that. in the current environment you’re generally looking at: 0.10 ≈ 580k–610k 0.11 ≈ 600k–630k 0.12 ≈ 620k–660k 0.13 ≈ 650k–690k 0.14 ≈ 680k–720k 0.15 ≈ 710k–750k 0.16 ≈ 740k–790k 0.17 ≈ 780k–830k 0.18 ≈ 820k–880k 0.19 ≈ 860k–920k 0.20 ≈ 900k–960k the issue is how often people stop there and treat it like a conclusion instead of the starting point. because a single demo pulled out of context doesn’t tell you what kind of number it actually was what kind of audience it represents or what it means in a real marketplace start with the full AEW row because that’s the foundation. AEW on TBS for 121 minutes posted: 0.44 household rating 0.12 adults 18–34 0.15 adults 18–49 0.09 women 18–49 0.20 men 18–49 0.22 adults 25–54 0.13 women 25–54 0.30 men 25–54 0.10 persons 12–34 0.07 females 12–34 0.12 males 12–34 0.03 teens 12–17 730k total viewers 6th in adults 18–49 12th in total viewers that’s the entire result. not the tweet version not the clipped version not the one number people like to repeat. that full row is the reality and once you actually read it the first thing that matters is not the 0.15 it’s how that 0.15 is built 0.20 men 18–49 0.09 women 18–49 that’s not a subtle imbalance that’s the number. this is not a broad demo performance it’s a concentrated one. when one side of the demo is doing more than double the work of the other side you are not looking at wide audience adoption you are looking at a defined lane showing up consistently and that distinction is everything because certain faux authorities talk about 0.15 like it’s a universal currency when it’s not. a 0.15 built on something like 0.14 women and 0.16 men is a fundamentally different asset than a 0.15 built on 0.09 women and 0.20 men. one is balanced one is narrow. one has flexibility across advertisers scheduling and audience expansion the other is predictable reliable and capped this one is clearly the latter same story in 25–54 0.30 men 25–54 0.13 women 25–54 again more than double same structural dependence same ceiling implication and then you go younger and nothing changes 0.12 adults 18–34 0.10 persons 12–34 0.12 males 12–34 0.07 females 12–34 it’s the same shape repeated across demos which tells you this is not a one week anomaly it’s the product identity. stable consistent defined not expanding and that’s where the difference between narrow reliability and broad strategic heat actually shows up in the data this is reliable. the audience shows up. the profile is predictable. the show holds its lane it is not broad. it is not expanding. it is not signaling that new segments are coming into the tent and changing the ceiling of the property that’s not opinion that’s what the row says now zoom out to the actual cable landscape that night because this is where context starts to cut through the noise Hannity 0.50 NBA on ESPN 0.36 Jesse Watters Primetime 0.28 Gutfeld 0.25 The Source with Kaitlan Collins 0.18 AEW Dynamite 0.15 that’s the board. that’s the tiering. AEW is not competing with the leaders it’s sitting clearly below them in the next band the gap from 0.15 to 0.18 is real the gap from 0.15 to 0.25 is large the gap from 0.15 to 0.36 and 0.50 is massive and this is where people get sloppy because they use ranking to imply proximity when there isn’t any the placements are: 6th in adults 18–49 12th in total viewers those are good placements for a cable property they are not dominant placements and they are not close to dominant placements. 12th at 730k tells you exactly how much total audience is actually there across the full market not just the demo slice people like to highlight and that matters because scale still matters. total audience still matters. you don’t get to ignore it just because the demo is easier to weaponize quickly on the presidential address because this keeps getting dragged in like it explains something and it doesn’t a brief presidential address is not real competition it’s not counterprogramming it’s not sustained audience capture it’s a short interruption that hits every network at the same time. everyone gets disrupted nobody gets singled out. it doesn’t change relative positioning it doesn’t create winners or losers it’s just noise in the system and leaning on it is basically avoiding what the table actually shows same thing with hourly ranks 3rd in an hour 4th in an hour fine but relative to what. if the field is thin outside a few programs you can place well in a window and still be materially behind the actual leaders. a 0.15 does not become a 0.25 because it ranked 3rd it stays a 0.15 now zoom out even further and look at the broader tv ecosystem broadcast that same night is pulling 4M 5M viewers with broader demo balance. different ecosystem yes but it gives you scale perspective. cable is fragmented expectations are different a 0.15 can be a good cable number but that does not make it a market moving television number it makes it solid within its lane and that’s where most of the conversation should stop but it doesn’t because once you layer in actual market structure the ratings matter even less than people think they do the buyer universe is not theoretical it is already allocated high tier buyers netflix amazon apple all operate at 600k+ per telecast levels but only for global scalable franchise inventory netflix has already consolidated the global wwe backbone across raw international distribution and library. there is no incentive to layer overlapping wrestling inventory into that system amazon is deploying capital into nfl nba nascar and large scale league ecosystems. servicing ppv distribution is not the same thing as underwriting long term weekly rights. there is no mandate for niche weekly wrestling at scale apple is curating a premium global sports portfolio aligned with brand identity. nothing niche nothing polarizing nothing demo fragmented clears that filter mid tier buyers disney espn already has wwe premium live events and massive nfl nba and college football commitments. the wrestling lane is already defined at the tentpole level fox is concentrated on nfl and big ten with disciplined incremental spend and no mandate for a second wrestling property peacock is structurally tied into wwe across events and library footprint. that lane is occupied paramount plus max post merger is sitting on one of the heaviest combat sports portfolios in the market ufc at roughly 1.1b per year zuffa boxing pbr nfl afc that is category consolidation not exploration. any additional combat adjacent inventory has to clear duplication against that stack turner inside that same structure is no longer operating independently. it is part of a combined portfolio that already has a defined combat sports identity low tier buyers roku tubi vice are operating in the 150k–300k per telecast range and are not positioned to escalate into premium rights competition so when you actually map the landscape it’s not that buyers are hesitant it’s that lanes are already filled there is no real second bidder dynamic and once you remove the idea of competitive bidding the ratings stop functioning as leverage they become a utility metric now go back to the numbers 0.15 730k male heavy composition those are not bad numbers they are just not strong enough to override strategic redundancy inside a portfolio that already includes ufc and global wwe alignment across multiple platforms so the conversation shifts this is no longer what will the market pay this becomes what is this worth inside our existing portfolio can we fill two hours cheaper can we replicate the demo with studio shows shoulder programming unscripted if yes there is no leverage if no it stays but on controlled terms that’s the real decision tree and this is where the difference between narrow reliability and broad strategic heat becomes the entire story this is reliable inventory. it shows up every week it delivers a consistent demo it fills two hours it holds a lane it is not broad strategic heat. it does not expand the audience map it does not unlock new advertiser categories it does not create urgency across buyers it does not force capital to move and that’s not a criticism it’s a classification so the clean read is simple the number is real the audience is still there the composition is still narrow the placement is still upper middle and none of that on its own creates leverage in a market that is already structurally allocated this is a property negotiating inside someone else’s portfolio not across an open market and that leads to the only conclusion that actually matters once capital is already deployed across nfl nba ufc and global wwe distribution and once the high tier buyers are structurally filtered out this stops being a rights negotiation driven by ratings and becomes an internal portfolio decision driven by overlap cost efficiency and replacement value. at that point a steady 0.15 does not create leverage it defines the floor of what that two hour block is worth relative to everything else competing for the same capital and now add the part everyone either ignores or pretends doesn’t exist TKO is effectively sitting on ~100% of premium combat sports market share at scale when you look at UFC plus WWE across global distribution lanes. that’s not just another player in the category that is the category so when you’re talking about where AEW fits you’re not comparing it in a vacuum you’re comparing it against the most consolidated combat sports stack the business has ever seen and that stack isn’t just operating independently Ari Emanuel has been advising David Ellison for 15+ years that relationship matters because it shapes how these portfolios are thought about at the highest level. this isn’t random alignment this is long term strategic overlap between the people actually making decisions about where billions in rights fees go so when you layer that on top of a potential Paramount controlled WBD structure you’re not just dealing with ratings anymore you’re dealing with a fully informed portfolio strategy that already knows exactly what it values in combat sports and what it doesn’t and then you zoom all the way out to cultural positioning because this part matters more than people think Pat McAfee is in the main event at WrestleMania that’s not a throwaway detail that’s the signal that’s WWE extending into mainstream sports media personalities who already command massive audiences across multiple platforms and pulling them into the biggest event in the space that’s what broad strategic heat actually looks like not just a consistent demo number not just reliable weekly inventory but expansion into new audience layers new distribution touchpoints and new cultural relevance that travels outside the core base so when you put all of this together the picture gets even clearer AEW is stable AEW is reliable AEW fills a lane but it’s operating in a market where the category leader already controls the majority of premium combat IP the decision makers are aligned at the highest levels the buyer universe is structurally closed and the biggest player is actively expanding its cultural footprint beyond wrestling itself that’s the environment so yes a 0.15 matters. yes 730k matters the number isn’t fake the number isn’t terrible the number is specific it tells you exactly what the show is right now it tells you the core audience showed up it tells you that audience is heavily male it tells you women are materially underrepresented it tells you the show converts to about 730k it tells you where it sits on the night it tells you the audience shape hasn’t changed what it doesn’t tell you matters just as much it doesn’t tell you the audience is expanding it doesn’t tell you the show is broadening it doesn’t tell you the ceiling moved this was a good night for a show with a defined audience but none of it overrides the reality that this is being evaluated inside a system that already knows what “must have” looks like and right now that bar is being set somewhere else entirely cc: Dave Meltzer

sports portfolio aligned with brand identity. nothing niche nothing polarizing nothing demo fragmented clears that filter mid tier buyers disney espn already has wwe premium live events and massive nfl nba and college football commitments. the wrestling lane is already defined at the tentpole level fox is concentrated on nfl and big ten with disciplined incremental spend and no mandate for a second wrestling property peacock is structurally tied into wwe across events and library footprint. that lane is occupied paramount plus max post merger is sitting on one of the heaviest combat sports portfolios in the market ufc at roughly 1.1b per year zuffa boxing pbr nfl afc that is category consolidation not exploration. any additional combat adjacent inventory has to clear duplication against that stack turner inside that same structure is no longer operating independently. it is part of a combined portfolio that already has a defined combat sports identity low tier buyers roku tubi vice are operating in the 150k–300k per telecast range and are not positioned to escalate into premium rights competition so when you actually map the landscape it’s not that buyers are hesitant it’s that lanes are already filled there is no real second bidder dynamic and once you remove the idea of competitive bidding the ratings stop functioning as leverage they become a utility metric now go back to the numbers 0.15 730k male heavy composition those are not bad numbers they are just not strong enough to override strategic redundancy inside a portfolio that already includes ufc and global wwe alignment across multiple platforms so the conversation shifts this is no longer what will the market pay this becomes what is this worth inside our existing portfolio can we fill two hours cheaper can we replicate the demo with studio shows shoulder programming unscripted if yes there is no leverage if no it stays but on controlled terms that’s the real decision tree and this is where the difference between narrow reliability and broad strategic heat becomes the entire story this is reliable inventory. it shows up every week it delivers a consistent demo it fills two hours it holds a lane it is not broad strategic heat. it does not expand the audience map it does not unlock new advertiser categories it does not create urgency across buyers it does not force capital to move and that’s not a criticism it’s a classification so the clean read is simple the number is real the audience is still there the composition is still narrow the placement is still upper middle and none of that on its own creates leverage in a market that is already structurally allocated this is a property negotiating inside someone else’s portfolio not across an open market and that leads to the only conclusion that actually matters once capital is already deployed across nfl nba ufc and global wwe distribution and once the high tier buyers are structurally filtered out this stops being a rights negotiation driven by ratings and becomes an internal portfolio decision driven by overlap cost efficiency and replacement value. at that point a steady 0.15 does not create leverage it defines the floor of what that two hour block is worth relative to everything else competing for the same capital and now add the part everyone either ignores or pretends doesn’t exist TKO is effectively sitting on ~100% of premium combat sports market share at scale when you look at UFC plus WWE across global distribution lanes. that’s not just another player in the category that is the category so when you’re talking about where AEW fits you’re not comparing it in a vacuum you’re comparing it against the most consolidated combat sports stack the business has ever seen and that stack isn’t just operating independently Ari Emanuel has been advising David Ellison for 15+ years that relationship matters because it shapes how these portfolios are thought about at the highest level. this isn’t random alignment this is long term strategic overlap between the people actually making decisions about where billions in rights fees go so when you layer that on top of a potential Paramount controlled WBD structure you’re not just dealing with ratings anymore you’re dealing with a fully informed portfolio strategy that already knows exactly what it values in combat sports and what it doesn’t and then you zoom all the way out to cultural positioning because this part matters more than people think Pat McAfee is in the main event at WrestleMania that’s not a throwaway detail that’s the signal that’s WWE extending into mainstream sports media personalities who already command massive audiences across multiple platforms and pulling them into the biggest event in the space that’s what broad strategic heat actually looks like not just a consistent demo number not just reliable weekly inventory but expansion into new audience layers new distribution touchpoints and new cultural relevance that travels outside the core base so when you put all of this together the picture gets even clearer AEW is stable AEW is reliable AEW fills a lane but it’s operating in a market where the category leader already controls the majority of premium combat IP the decision makers are aligned at the highest levels the buyer universe is structurally closed and the biggest player is actively expanding its cultural footprint beyond wrestling itself that’s the environment so yes a 0.15 matters. yes 730k matters the number isn’t fake the number isn’t terrible the number is specific it tells you exactly what the show is right now it tells you the core audience showed up it tells you that audience is heavily male it tells you women are materially underrepresented it tells you the show converts to about 730k it tells you where it sits on the night it tells you the audience shape hasn’t changed what it doesn’t tell you matters just as much it doesn’t tell you the audience is expanding it doesn’t tell you the show is broadening it doesn’t tell you the ceiling moved this was a good night for a show with a defined audience but none of it overrides the reality that this is being evaluated inside a system that already knows what “must have” looks like and right now that bar is being set somewhere else entirely cc: Dave Meltzer

‼️SMOKING GUN: Gary Melton Had To Get His INTEL On Mitch Snow From Fort Huachuca—The Smoking Gun PROOF He's A Fed Asset?! 👀 This is the smoking gun. The question that Gary Melton from Paramount Tactical cannot answer, and the silence proves he's an intelligence asset trying to take down a true American hero, Mitch Snow. Let's lay out the facts. THE LIE: Gary Melton, Paramount Tactical - Gary Melton, brought a man onto his show to discredit Mitch Snow. This man claimed to be Mitch's long-lost son, painting Mitch as a liar and a deadbeat to undermine his bombshell testimony about Fort Huachuca. THE TRUTH: That man is NOT Mitch Snow's son. Period. Here's the undisputed timeline: When the boy was born, Mitch was put on the birth certificate. He immediately contested it and demanded a DNA test. The mother refused. To end the legal battle, Mitch signed over his parental rights. He has never met this person. He wouldn't know him from Adam. Because of this, the man is not listed on Mitch's background check, his military records, his veterans records, or anywhere else as a son or relative. As far as any public or private database is concerned, they are strangers. THE IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION: So how in God's name did Gary Melton find him? Think about it. You're a podcaster. You're trying to dig up dirt on a former Green Beret. Where do you look? Family. But Mitch Snow has no known connection to this man. There are no records. No paper trail. No social media links. They are ghosts to each other. The only way to find this needle in a haystack is with intelligence-grade access. The same kind of access the military and federal agencies have at Fort Huachuca. Gary Melton, an obscure youtuber did not "skip trace" a man who is officially and legally unrelated to Mitch Snow. That's not how it works. He was handed this man. He was given the name, the location, and the talking points by his handlers. This was a coordinated, intelligence-backed operation to assassinate the character of the man who exposed the CIA's human trafficking tunnel infrastructure. @Justice4Gr8Nate was an enemy of the state the moment he found those tunnels. And now the state, using assets like Gary Melton and Brian Harpool, is trying to destroy him. Gary Melton will never answer the question of how he found this guy, because the answer is "The FBI gave me his file." This isn't just a smear campaign. It's a confession. Gary Melton is a fed. His actions prove it. Gary Melton, did not "skip trace" a man who is officially and legally unrelated to Mitch Snow. That's not how it works. Be sure to FOLLOW Stew Peters below. ⚠️They want this investigation shut down. Right now, my channel is facing targeted attacks to bankrupt me and silence the truth surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination. If you believe in independent journalism and want to ensure this investigation stays alive, your support makes all the difference 💪 🔗:

This is an incredibly damning piece of historical evidence: This is Davyd Arakhamia, parliamentary leader of Zelensky's ''Servant of the People'' party. He led the Ukrainian delegation at peace talks with the Russians in Belarus and Türkiye in 2022, a few weeks into the war. Here’s what he says: - He confirms that Russia’s principal goal for the war wasn’t to invade the whole of Ukraine but to force Ukraine to become a neutral country that would not be part of NATO: “[Russia] really hoped almost to the last moment that they would force us to sign such an agreement so that we would take neutrality. It was the most important thing for them. They were prepared to end the war if we agreed to, – as Finland once did, – neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO. In fact, this was the key point. Everything else was simply rhetoric and political ‘seasoning’ about denazification, the Russian-speaking population and blah-blah-blah." - When asked why Ukraine did not agree to this, here’s what he says: “First, in order to agree to this point, it is necessary to change the Constitution. Our path to NATO is written in the Constitution. Secondly, there was no confidence in the Russians that they would do it. This could only be done if there were security guarantees. We could not sign something, step away, everyone would relax there, and then they would [invade] even more prepared – because they had, in fact, gone in unprepared for such a resistance. Therefore, we could only explore this route when there is absolute certainty that this will not happen again. There is no such certainty. Moreover, when we returned from Istanbul, Boris Johnson came to Kyiv and said that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let's just fight.” He’s actually not being very forthright about the “no confidence in the Russians so this could only be done if there were security guarantees” claim, because from the media reports at the time in early 2022, this aspect of the deal was getting concretized. It’s even still up on Ukraine’s official presidency website: The concept was that permanent members of the UN Security Council would be the guarantors of the deal, alongside Turkey, Germany, Canada, Italy, Poland and Israel. The issue seems to have been that those security guarantees were “greeted with skepticism” by “Western officials”, as highlighted in this WSJ piece from back then: So this, combined with Arakhamia’s confirmation that what really killed the deal was “Boris Johnson [coming] to Kyiv and [saying] that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let's just fight” shows that it is unequivocally the West that killed the peace deal. Which confirms the extremely damning responsibility of the West in this war because we’re at a stage, 20 months later, when not only has Ukraine lost a horrifying amount of men (likely hundreds of thousands of deaths) but they couldn’t dream of getting such favorable conditions in a peace deal that the West is NOW pressuring them to make. And I won’t even get into the responsibility of the West in triggering this conflict in the first place with the expansion of NATO and the transformation of Ukraine into a Western bulwark on Russia’s border… Will there be any reckoning? Any admission of this responsibility? Any accountability? Any change, any rethinking in order to avoid such catastrophic failures in the future? Sadly I don’t even see the first inkling of the beginning of this, especially in Europe. And this is what makes me most depressed: it shows we're institutionally set in our erroneous ways with no capability to learn, adapt and change.

🇨🇿🔥🇺🇦🚨 “Czech politician humiliates state TV: ‘You don’t even know the difference between Rusyns and Russians’” A heated exchange on Czech public television has gone viral after opposition leader Tomio Okamura Tomio Okamura publicly challenged a moderator over what he called a fundamental lack of knowledge about Eastern European minorities. The clash began when the journalist questioned Okamura’s authority to comment on Ukraine, pointing out that he is an economist and suggesting he lacks real experience in the country. Okamura responded by asking whether she herself had ever visited Ukraine. When she admitted she had not, he sharply countered that he had been there personally. The confrontation escalated when Okamura started speaking about the Rusyns (Ruthenians) – a little-known Slavic minority living mainly in Transcarpathia (western Ukraine), as well as in Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. When the moderator dismissed his claims as “Russian propaganda,” Okamura snapped: “What? Russians? These are NOT Russians. You’re confusing Rusyns with Russians. Are you serious?” He then asked bluntly: “Do you even know what Transcarpathian Ukraine is?” Who are the Rusyns – historical context For international readers: Rusyns are a distinct Slavic ethnic group with their own language and identity. Historically, they lived within: • Austria-Hungary • Czechoslovakia (1918–1938) • later the Soviet Union After World War II, Transcarpathia was annexed by Soviet Ukraine, where Rusyn identity was officially suppressed. Soviet authorities declared that Rusyns “do not exist” and forced them to register as Ukrainians. To this day, Ukraine does not officially recognize Rusyns as a national minority, unlike Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Serbia – where they are legally recognized. Okamura’s claims Okamura said he was invited by Rusyn representatives and visited Uzhhorod, Mukachevo and Svaliava, where he claims: • Rusyn language education is restricted • Rusyn nationality cannot be registered • cultural organizations were shut down “They banned their schools so children forget the Rusyn language,” he said. “This has nothing to do with democracy.” “I was there – you weren’t” Throughout the debate, Okamura repeated that his views come from first-hand experience, not media narratives. “You watch it on TV. I was physically there.” He accused Czech media of automatically labeling uncomfortable topics as “Russian propaganda” and refusing to discuss minority rights inside Ukraine. Political fallout The clip spread rapidly online. Supporters praised him for: • defending forgotten minorities • exposing media ignorance • challenging official narratives Critics accused him of: • echoing Kremlin arguments • undermining support for Ukraine • politicizing minority issues Okamura responded by saying he had never received such a positive public reaction to any speech before. Why this matters This wasn’t just a TV argument. It exposed a deeper European problem: • ignorance about Slavic minorities • collapsing space for open debate • everything critical of Kyiv labeled “propaganda” Confusing Rusyns with Russians is not a small mistake – it erases an entire people with over 1,000 years of history in the Carpathian region. For Okamura, this moment proved his point: “People who lecture about democracy don’t even know who they’re talking about.” Bigger picture This clash reflects a wider cultural war: mainstream media vs populist politicians official war narratives vs inconvenient facts geopolitics vs minority rights And it shows how quickly identity issues become political weapons in wartime Europe. ⸻ If you like what we are doing — like, share, subscribe, and invite your friends for more.
